To my Oldest Friend. On that amazing day when you told me you were pregnant I promised you that I wouldn’t give you any parenting advice. I’m about to break that promise. We’ve always done everything together, you and I, so it makes sense that we would embark on a parenting journey together too. With…

Its been a long time coming. After a relatively easy pregnancy – or as easy as pregnancy can be whilst also parenting a toddler – we welcomed our new baby to the family last week. After several false starts I went into labour at 39 weeks and delivered this beautiful bundle of loveliness just seven…

We are all busy and sometimes, it’s simply hard to come up with new ideas to engage and keep our tiny toddlers busy. We compiled a list of 10 super simple activities with pipe cleaners you can easily set up in just few minutes and let your kids enjoy the play while you attend other…

Hi! I’m Laura from Peace but Not Quiet — I blog about kids’ activities, recipes, crafts, and the general adventures of our family of six. One of my favorite things to do with each of my four children, when they were babies, was to cuddle up and read with them. The benefits of reading to…
